Node.js is an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime that aims to provide an easy way to build scalable network programs. It uses an event loop model that keeps slow operations from blocking other operations by executing callbacks asynchronously. This allows Node.js programs to handle multiple connections concurrently without creating new threads. Common uses of Node.js include building web servers, real-time applications, crawlers, and process monitoring tools. The document provides examples of using modules like HTTP, TCP, DNS, and file system modules to demonstrate Node.js's asynchronous and non-blocking I/O model.

A language for the Internet: Why JavaScript and Node.js is right for Internet...Tom Croucher
Increasingly we want to do more with the web and Internet applications we build. We have more features, more data, more users, more devices and all of it needs to be in real-time. With all of these demands how can we keep up? The answer is choosing a language and a platform that are optimized for the kind of architecture Internet and web applications really have. The traditional approach prioritises computation, assigning server resources before they are actually needed. JavaScript and Node.js both take an event driven approach only assigning resources to events as they happen. This allows us to make dramatic gains in performance and resource utilization while still having an environment which is fun and easy to program.
Slides from my talk "Node.js Patterns for Discerning Developers" given at Pittsburgh TechFest 2013. This talk detailed common design pattern for Node.js, as well as common anti-patterns to avoid.
Node.js and How JavaScript is Changing Server Programming Tom Croucher
Node.js is a highly concurrent JavaScript server written on top of the V8 JavaScript runtime. This is awesome for a number of reasons. Firstly Node.js has re-architected some of the core module of V8 to create a server implementation that is non-blocking (similar to other event driven frameworks like Ruby’s Event Machine or Python’s Twisted). Event driven architectures are a natural fit for JavaScript developers because it’s already how the browser works. By using an event driven framework Node is not only intuitive to use but also highly scalable. Tests have shown Node instances running tens of thousands of simultaneous users.
This session will explore the architectural basics of Node.js and how it’s different from blocking server implementations such as PHP, Rail or Java Servlets. We’ll explore some basic examples of creating a simple server, dealing with HTTP requests, etc.
The bigger question is once we have this awesome programming environment, what do we do with it? Node already has a really vibrant collection of modules which provide a range of functionality. Demystifying what’s available is pretty important to actually getting stuff done with Node. Since Node itself is very low level, lot’s of things people expect in web servers aren’t automatically there (for example, request routing). In order to help ease people into using Node this session will look at a range of the best modules for Node.js.
This is a presentation I prepared for a local meetup. The audience is a mix of web designers and developers who have a wide range of development experience.

Background Tasks in Node - Evan Tahler, TaskRabbitRedis Labs
The talk gives an overview of some of the many ways you can preform
background taks in node, which include: Foreground (in-line) Parallel (threaded-ish) Local Messages (fork-ish) Remote
Messages Remote Queues (Resque-ish) Event Bus (Kafka-ish) For every section, we show an example, and more interestingly,
note how node makes every step better/faster/stronger... even the bad ideas! The idea for the talk came from a twitter
converstaion with @dshaw, host of NodeUP about how easy it was to have multiple node workers in Node-Resque... Check
out the presentation to learn how!
"As an asynchronous event driven JavaScript runtime, Node is designed to build scalable network applications" così si presenta Node.js, piattaforma tecnologica che - grazie alla sua immediatezza e produttività - ha conquistato dapprima startup e piccole aziende, fino a ritagliarsi uno spazio importante in realtà come IBM, LinkedIn, Netflix e Yahoo. La stessa Microsoft ha riconosciuto le potenzialità della piattaforma, tanto da integrare Node.js in Visual Studio Code e nelle ultime release di Visual Studio, oltre a basarci alcuni dei propri servizi di Azure come "Mobile Services" e "Functions".
In questa sessione vedremo come implementare con Node.js alcuni scenari applicativi comuni nell’ambito dello sviluppo web, analizzando quando la sua adozione può portarci vantaggi nel nostro lavoro quotidiano. In conclusione, faremo una breve panoramica architetturale, descrivendo alcuni scenari di cooperazione tra .NET e Node.js nello stesso sistema.
Codice e demo: https://github.com/rucka/CommunityDays2016
I would like to share my story about how our team was building an efficient testing process, how these changes affect the development process overall, how to solve common problems of BDD-style tests with DEMO on real examples. My story begins with several failures/problems, which every team meets at the beginning of involving BDD tools in automation tests.
The next topic is including several improvements such as universal step definitions, cucumber expressions, own parameter types, text localization testing, involving REGEXP to test special symbols, etc.
After, slides cover solving irritable problems of BDD tests such as: getting, remembering and reusing unique data during test run sessions, working with API to avoid repeatable steps, file verifications in headless mode, excel files content, hash, screenshot testing, etc.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

15. ECMAScript 5
• Getters / setters
var a = {};
a.__defineGetter__('foo', function() {
return 'bar';
});
puts(a.foo);
• Array: filter, forEach, reduce, etc.
• JSON.stringify(), JSON.parse()
16. There is only 1 thread
file.read('file.txt', function(data) {
// Will never fire
});
while (true) {
// this blocks the entire process
}
Good for conceptual simplicity
Bad for CPU-bound algorithms
18. Web workers
• Multiple node processes that do
interprocess communication
• CPU-bound algorithms can run separately
• Multiple CPU cores can be used efficiently
19. Move C/C++ stuff to JS
• Simplifies the code base
• Makes contributions easier
• Low-level bindings = more flexibility
20. Better Socket Support
• Support for unix sockets, socketpair(), pipe()
• Pass sockets between processes " load
balance requests between web workers
• Unified socket streaming interfaces
21. Even more ...
• Connecting streams
var f = file.writeStream('/tmp/x.txt');
connect(req.body, f);
• Http parser bindings
• No memcpy() for http requests
+ hot code reloading!
